This review is from: Larry Bird: Basketball Legend [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is one of the finest sports video's I have ever seen. Explores the work ethic and the will power that made Larry a champion on the court, interwoven with 65 minutes of amazing highlights of Larry's career. This is the video to show your child to demonstrate to them what it takes to be a champion- because as this video documents, Larry Bird was truly extraordinary. You won't be disappointed with this video.

5.0 out of 5 stars Larry truly is a Legend, September 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Larry Bird: Basketball Legend [VHS] (VHS Tape)

"Larry Bird-A Basketball Legend" is truly one of the greatest cinematic achievements of this era. Follow our humble hero on his journey from cool country bumpkin to even cooler NBA Superstar. His clutch three-point contest perfomance will send chills down your spine, and his unbelievable over-the-backboard shot will have you and your friends talking for hours. (As long as your tape hasn't been sitting in the basement for years and that one part is fuzzy.) NBA fans from New Hampshire to Virginia are sure to appreciate this one-of a kind video.
